Für die letzten beiden Folgen des ONpodcast im Jahr 2021 hat die Künstlerin Isabelle Finou den elektronischen Musiker und Musikphilosophen Rasmus Nordholt-Frieling getroffen. Er erkundet ein spezifisch musikalisches Denken und die mannigfaltigen Möglichkeiten der Modulation innerhalb des Klanglichen, aber auch darüber hinaus: mit Blick auf die Musikalität des Theaters, der bildenden Kunst und der Philosophie. In der ersten Folge lernen wir den Musiker kennen, bevor es im zweiten Teil um seine theoretischen Arbeiten geht.

Rasmus Nordholt-Frieling befasst sich praktisch und theoretisch mit Klängen. Als Klanggestalter, Producer und Konzeptentwickler arbeitet er an eigenen Projekten und kollaboriert mit zahlreichen Künstler*innen aus dem Feld der performativen Künste. Zuletzt erschien seine EP Transmission 20/21. 2021 veröffentlichte Nordholt-Frieling außerdem seine Promotion Musikalische Relationen. Hierin entwickelt er etwa anhand der Gestaltungslehre Paul Klees und der Philosophie von Deleuze und Guattari die Möglichkeiten eines musikalischen, vom Klang inspirierten Denkens.

Die Künstlerin, Performerin und Komponistin Isabelle Finou widmet sich seit 2014 dem Medium Sound. In ihren künstlerischen Konzepten und Experimenten bedient sie sich unterschiedlicher Medien und Techniken. Sie interessiert sich für die Wahrnehmung von Räumen - insbesondere für die klangliche Wirkung von Räumen und Orten, sowie die Wirkung von Klang auf das individuelle Hörgedächtnis. Für die Komposition ihrer Stücke arbeitet sie mit verschiedenen Synthesizern, Field-Recordings von Transit-Orten, insbesondere von Bahnhöfen, Zügen und der dazugehörigen Umgebung sowie stark experimentellem Einsatz von Stimme.

In the last two episodes of the ONpodcast in 2021, the performance artist Isabell Finou has met philosopher Ramus Nordholt-Frieling. He explores a specifically musical thinking and the manifold possibilities of modulation, that musicality makes interesting also for visual artists among others. In the first episode we get to know the musicians, before turning to his theoretical work in episode two.

Rasmus Nordholt-Frieling works with sound theoretically and practically. As sound modulator, producer and conceptual partner he develops own projects and collaborates with numerous artists from the field of performing arts. Most recently, his EP Transmission 20/21 was released. Also in 2021, Nordholt-Frieling published his dissertation Musikalische Relationen. Along the form concepts of Paul Klee and the philosophy of Deleuze-Guattari, he explores the possibilities of a musical, sound inspired thinking.

The performance artist and composer Isabelle Finou dedicates her work towards the medium sound since 2014. In her artistic concepts and experiments she draws on different media and techniques. Especially interesting is the perception of spaces – the acoustic effects as well as the effects on the personal auditory memory. In her compositions she works with different synthesizers, field-recordings and an experimental use of voice.

ONpodcast #60 Musikalität Und Modulation Mit Isabelle Finou (und Rasmus Nordholt - Frieling)

"Thoughts on Manifolds is an album of impossible shapes, anomalous physics and quite unusual calibre." (Electronic Sound)

"An audible statement of an otherworldly architecture - a mind's outlook into one of many futures shaped by Blank Wall Season." (zenevloed)

THOUGHTS ON MANIFOLDS (GEN050) by BLANK WALL SEASON (@blankws) is a feather light, mixed-material showroom of synthetic objects, constantly rolling, constricting, zooming, bubbling, evoking some vast space. Impossibly thin, transparent foil, crisp, ice cold fluids, metal on rubber impacts etching elaborate diagrams and schemes into ambiguous, lush techno-reminiscent chords. The sound arrangement here is akin to a granular breeze, like an alien meteorology, a particle simulation turning into a textural primordial soup. Constantly in acceleration or deceleration, the listener knows every vast saturated pad is seconds away from the rush of a blast-off, almost intolerable G-forces, images flashing in front of one's eyes, bullet-like hard pans. These operations are like a valve being turned, the sudden pressure release causing a stream of some noble gas being set free, or opening a shutter suddenly providing a flicker of light highlighting the contours of some cavernous lost zone.

// About GEN050
/ Blank Wall Season about the album
“Another foggy night, as you step out from the exit of a club, every 'feeling' you had is overlapped with sweat and you are stuck with emotions”
In the album, we hear one sample altering and folding into a wide spectrum of sonic reflections while hazy textures intersect with each other to create a crafted assemblage. Amongst this heap of sounds, you'll find some that you can't get through and realize that they are the ones that matter as it's all a journey within manifolds.

Very special Sleep Deprived episode with guest MICHAELBRAILEY (https://soundcloud.com/michaelbrailey)
Presenting two movie related pieces, one by MICHAELBRAILEY & one by Comastasis (https://soundcloud.com/comastasis):

Ursine Vulpine - Do You Realize? (COMASTASIS' Michael Bay Transformers The Last Knight Trailer Extended Extended Extended Extended Extended Remix) (19min)

-
this is the way the world ends
TRACKLIST:
Richard Kelly - Southland Tales (2006)

DESCRIPTION:
Nuclear explosions in the distance, or is that the sea, or the weather? Or gunfire?

MICHAELBRAILEY presents a shrine to 'Southland Tales', the critically-panned sophomore epic from Donnie Darko-director Richard Kelly. The voices of Hollywood 00s stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Justin Timberlake, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seann William Scott can be heard prophesying on the state of things in a world where porn is on TV, Iraq war veterans have amnesia, guns can bend around corners and quantum teleportation is top news. Leaning heavily on the film's Moby-led soundtrack this unusual mix scans, etches and chips away at the film's runtime to unearth what meaning or emotion lies beneath its strangely salacious surface.

Commissioned by Don't Look Back Records.
